Fumihiko Matsumaru, a single 26-year-old average salaryman, invited a girl to the movies but was stood up. Right at the moment he was about to toss his tickets into the trash, a cute girl appeared and asked him not to waste them. After movie and dinner, he escorted her home, only to find her apartment was burning.

Note: Volume 1 contains a two-chapter story titled, "Silver Street Romance" about a girl who confesses to another girl.
